Vantaggi

My immediate team, new office building

Svantaggi

My time at Paychex was spent feeling isolated and depressed. Within my first two weeks, I realized I was the only Black person in a building filled with hundreds of people and started feeling like I had made a serious mistake. Felt dis-empowered, seeing something wrong that I couldn't do anything about. After awhile, the lack of diversity in PD-and-IT started to seem intentional. Many Testers, Scrum Masters, Requirements Analysts, and so on come from non-technical roles in other departments. Those other departments are more diverse but it seems like the only people who ever transfer into PD-and-IT or get hired are White or Asian. Most offensive thing was on their career portal, posting a picture of a black guy coding in a building that I had never seen another a black software engineer. Only exception to this was a black female intern. Seems like diversity is a fashion statement to them and not an actual value. They are not aware and/or they don't really care about the moral or absolute consequences of not having a diverse and truly inclusive environment. Furthermore, why would you advertise something that is false? Quit after I realized that my employment at Paychex had made me stop trusting my ambition.

Vantaggi

Paychex is a great company to work for. I’ve held multiple roles over 20+ years. There are always ups and downs, but for every position, manager, decision I disagree with, there are ten others that are outstanding.

Svantaggi

It’s a large company with many opportunities to grow, but smaller companies may offer higher compensation.

Vantaggi

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Svantaggi

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.
